The Panzer III was a medium-class tank that, at the outbreak of WWII, was designed
to be the primary platform of Germany’s all-conquering panzer divisions. However,
with the advent of more heavily armored and up-gunned enemy tanks, the role
of the Panzer III became secondary to that of the Panzer IV. Production finally
ceased in 1943. One of the later models to be produced was the Panzer III Ausf.L,
which featured a longer and more powerful 5cm KwK 39 L/60 main gun. It also
boasted thicker armor, with an additional 20mm-thick layer on the turret and
hull front. A total of 653 Ausf.L tanks were produced in 1942 by German factories.
